It's up for sale! Grab yours today! The ATTINY PRO is a small-but-capable ATtiny3217 development board with a form-factor similar to a Pro Micro. It's like the original Arduino board, but with the much better peripherals of the Tiny AVR 1 and 2 series. www.tindie.com/products/mat...

Badly aged takes on the raspberry pi silicon security offerings...

🗓️ 25th anniversary! (February 28, 2000) 💿  Eels - Daisies of the Galaxy 🎶 Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day #Eels

Forgot I had a load of serial output left in, slowing things down a bit. Seems smoother with it off anyway. Haven't actually timed it, but certainly looks better.

So I haven't actually seen this bad apple thing yet, or at least until now. But it looks pretty good on a memory pixel LCD, streaming out of the flash of an ESP32-S3! Speedy!

Hmmm....

Oh come off it.

Ok so i've not seen breaking bad, so I might be missing a reference...? This one is far out even for AliExpress!

I have no idea why anyone pays for AI... Just go ask any "helpful" assistant on any website these days.

Very cool! Have done similar experiments in streaming a capture window to some of the Akai controllers 🙂

What do we think chat, does this lens look like it's IR to you?

Maple syrup.

Jfc Google come on. This is embarrassing (for you).

Adding "PDF viewer" to the list of things that have never needed AI.

Ok but is 'opening the pod bay doors' considered helpful, or unhelpful?

These neat little bar format LCD panels are a bit on the small side, but given they are selling for about a quid a pc for 76x284px... Well, it'd be rude not to whip up a little breakout. Dropped on a Waveshare ESP32/RP2350 Tiny module footprint - for now...

wait a minute...

Hey @arturo182.bsky.social - I found myself a Redfly C7. Did you ever get a SBC/SoM into this thing? hackaday.io/project/1654...

Well, this lot should get me a few extra chrome tabs...

Aliexpress with some real questionable toy ideas...

hm.

Photographing these pieces is hard! Here’s my piece on “rest”. Sometimes rest is the job that needs to be done. #chronicillness #bekindtoyourself #rest #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #depression #mentalhealthmonsters

Hm. Do I *realllly* want to put an offer on the "spares" condition handheld XRF analyzer? maybe if I can find a good deal on some lead...

I really, really should breadboard stuff before starting on the layout... I was meant to stop after the schematic, dangit. #PCB #KiCAD #RP2040

Hm. That last one isn't quite up to scratch...

That's a freakin' cool looking BLDC driver dev board. Having it show the phase waveforms on the display is just 👌 github.com/Cuixudong/BL...

I feel Spreadsheets should always be more colourful. The baked in conditional formatting doesn't work well enough to do stuff like... RGB LED matrix mapping.

Scrapping down a few old Lacie external disks, along with a Drobo 5D, both with FireWire. Who wants to play spot the similarities in these two boards? Of course, there are only so many ways one can architect and build this for it to work (& pass EMC)... But really.

finally finished the fiber laser vid! you can check out the full version on yt: youtu.be/wAiGCyZZq6w

Ok that's pretty cool.

Here's some @cursed-connectors.bsky.social conent perhaps? Molex 5020782562 looks as good as it might get, if you ever need to relocate / do questionable things to a 24-pin USB-C connector... (always have a contingency plan when it comes to connectors..!) www.molex.com/en-us/produc...

He's made a netlist... He should have checked it twice... He went straight to layout, and skipped the SPICE... 🎵 Fresh fabbed boards are commmminnnng to towwwwwnnnn🎵 The Christmas project- I wonder if I can get this to JLC before NYE...

So the concept is there. Needs a bit of fine work to get the skew into alignment on this brand of disk... But. This is a promising start!

Having some fun with some really bad code that kinda works... (Optical encoders are *probably* reliable enough of a concept to try variable reflectance, right?)

Well, that's heartbreaking. I know of a powermac G5 that's being scrapped, and was toying with combining the case with a threadripper system that "mostly" works - I run junkers, so what 😂 But having looked... I can't find a single conversion that doesn't look weird. Even the "good" ones look off.

Aw come on TI. Why can't you be normal about this stuff? (yet yes, thermals, but rly.)

this one is unnervingly close.

Various shops on AliExpress are running this board at <£6 right now, which is *ridiculous* for what you get. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006...

Yo dawg we heard you like packages so we packaged your encapsulated wafer inside a ceramic windowed package and packaged that inside a hermetically sealed moisture barrier (package) because what even are optical losses - apparently. (Love this paperweight sensor package, it's ridiculous)

I feel like we all just bailed and left Menswear Guy on his own back in bird country. I mean he'll be fine - he never needed protecting - I just worry he'll be overworked burning those left there to the ground.

It doesn't look like much, but had some fun getting a set of USB MIDI pads hooked up to a RP2350 using the neat usb_midi_host library. Just happily reporting pad triggers here, will extend this to work with SysEx for device configuration etc.

Copilot is so strange in its willingness to help. "Can we brainstorm a driver for this chip in working with. Here is the datasheet" "Sorry, I can't help with that" "Pretty sure you can though" "You're right, let's develop a driver for this device!"

Testing out some ideas to make mapping LED matrix cubes a bit less of a headache* *(For those times when you forgot which way around everything got wired up...) Will come back to this with a more sane approach to how to properly do this, in terms of memory available on a pi Pico ..
